He has already forgotten about the huge tax cut he was supposed to give them first week in November.
.We can add that to the other things he's forgotten about, such as getting Mexico to pay for a wall. Replacing Obamacare with someting "wonderful", getting rid of birthright citizenship with an E.O. and getting used to winning all the time.He has already forgotten about the huge tax cut he was supposed to give them first week in November.
(or was it winning so much we'd get tired of it?)
Under Odumbo, America was doing a "Thelma and Louise", racing to the canyon. Trump stomped the brakes just in time. Personally, I'm thinking (with regret) that the Dems will get control again and "mash the gas"... just hope it takes a while.
Of course I'd rather the Lefty/DemoCrap sheeple wake up and abandon their insanity, but I doubt that will ever happen.

The Democrats are represented by career politicians who don’t understand business or what makes America great.
As a reminder to readers who don’t know, America is great because of the economic opportunities provided by our capitalistic system. America is great because of the freedom to speak out against the government without fear of retribution. America is great because of our personal freedoms that allow us to run our lives the way we see fit and to benefit from good life decisions.
However, by suffering the consequences or our bad choices, we learn to make better decisions over time. As a culture, this has led to a people who are more likely to have a problem solving, get it done attitude. We Americans enjoy a great standard of living and quality of life because of the exceptional hard work and productivity by its citizens. Using Olympic sports as an example, many times the American competitor is not the strongest, the fastest, or the smartest. However, a lot of times we find a way to win because of our competitive nature and a well-developed problem solving skillset derived through our experience in personal decision making.
The Democratic politicians have sold us out to Socialist interests and financing because they want political power, do not understand or care about the value of the American experience, and have no viable platform that an informed person would be interested in. Therefore Leftist politicians and their media enablers have to skillfully lie.
We often see in the US media and in Leftist posts here in ET use the same old reasoning fallacies over and over again. Mischaracterizations, polls without methodology, red hearings, intimidation, ad hominem attacks, using statistics in a misleading way, presenting subjective information as fact, unsupported statements, false accusations, and so on.
As they say, freedom is not free. Unlike those who have died believing they were defending our way of life, all we have to do is point out the scam the Democratic Party has become to others, encourage others to vote, and to vote our conscience.
America was founded upon the principle... "Freedom to live your life without the government on your back". (The Founders knew of European history... monarchy, dictatorships, oppressive government.... wanted America to "not be that".)
Unique in all of world history!
And it's all being PISSED AWAY... by big government, Lefty/Socialists/Communist/Democraps because they want POWER. And they are securing that power by convincing the sheeple they are "deserving of free shit" at the expense of others and now also trying to flood our country with illegal immigrants.
My recall of this might be a little wonky... but when Ben Franklin was asked after the Constitutional Convention... "Do we have a democracy"? He said, "We've given you a Republic... if you can keep it".
Well, we had it for ~100 years or so, but then the Lefties started "getting their hooks" into our freedoms and prosperity since ~1906. Since then, it's been like a CANCER.... and it's close to STAGE 4, now!

I have wondered in the past why a sense of entitlement was promoted in the media and its advertisements. The entity, probably Russia, be must have boken down their overall plan to takeover America in components or tasks that need to be completed before they can make the US completely ineffective.
These tasks would include inflitrating key prominent US Colleges in populous cities such as Chicago, New York, and several cities in California with supporters of Socialist doctrine in order to infuence the thinking of impressionable young people who were more likely than average to reach positions of power in politics and business.
The US media, including news reporting, sitcoms, womens magazines, and movies were infiltrated with Socialist thinking with the effect of defining various groups of people in order to create divisions and dissent among Americans. Part of this plan included creating an anti-religious narrative, promote homosexuality, and to justify criminality. To mitigate public backlash, they used the media to tamp down free speech by ridiculing conspiracy theories, implemented political correctness, and established additional control by elevating the seriousness of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc such that the mere accusation of one of these new crimes was sufficient to destroy their opponent’s credibility. Drowned out in this din of accusations was the pro American platform of the Socialist’s opponent. This is what we see with the continual accusations of pedophilia and sexual misconduct of Republicans by the Radical Leftists today. Is not Trump’s make America great, his fulfillment of many campaign promises, and great economy being diminished by the constant negative media reporting? No wonder Democrats and the media want Trump impeached: He is making them look bad and is undoing many years of work by the Socialists.
The Socialists who seek to control us only have deception in their toolbox. We have truth and common sense on our side. We must not be lazy and use increasingly greater effort at exposing these people by informing others in order to oust these power hungry and disfunctional Socialists from our politics.
My view on the Socialistic/Progressive/DemoCrap movement in America.
1. Politicians are GREEDY WHORE MONGERS... desiring power at the expense of all else. They want to be in control, telling us what's right, how we should think and what we should do.
2. The "It's not fair. Somebody else has more than you. Vote for me, and I will take from them and give to you". Well, that's an easy platform to adopt and eagerly accepted by the hoi polloi. It's also CHICKENSHIT AND COWARDLY.... preying on the notion of "vote for free shit". Who doesn't want that??
I think that's "it in a nutshell"... people are stupid, easily manipulated, greedy, and lazy. Politicos capitalize on that to secure power.

Trump’s border deployments could cost $200 million by year-end
The total price of President Trump’s military deployment to the border, including the cost of National Guard forces that have been there since April, could climb well above $200 million by the end of 2018 and grow significantly if the deployments continue into next year, according to analyst estimates and Pentagon figures.
A small price for protecting our national sovereignty.
Roughly as hard as it is to find any two Americans anywhere that are against border control.
Virtually no one, regardless of political persuasion, is "against border control"! That idea is pure Trump bullshit!; bullshit that the Republican Party has allowed to go un-rebutted and even reinforced by repetition! By the time Trump assumed office, the Obama administration had already shut down illegal border crossings to a bare trickle and greatly stepped up deportations by selective application of sensible criteria. But Obama was neither a braggart nor a demagogue, so you didn't hear about it. Now comes Trump acting like there is still a big problem with illegal border crossings. He was, and still is, lying.
As a dangerous demagogue, he has simply fabricated this entire issue as a way to instill fear in his low-information followers, and he's O.K.'d policies guaranteed to create chaos at the border and make it appear as though border control is out of control. Undaunted, he is now claiming that thousands of would-be immigrants, including embedded Muslims and criminals, are on their way in a "caravan" with the intention of invading the United States. This is a gigantic exaggeration. Lest you think that these unfortunate souls represent any serious threat to the United States, please realize these are tired, ill and dispossessed men, women and children who have already traveled by foot hundreds of miles across rugged terrain seeking refuge. They don't have weapons. They are still a thousand miles from their most likely U.S. border destination, assuming they both intend to go that far and are physically capable of it. The Pentagon is estimating that about 20% of the refugees will make it all the way to the U.S. border. Many more will find refuge along the way. The U.S. has the resources to deal sanely with this situation without deploying U.S. Troops to our border. This is pure political theater on Trumps part. It's ridiculous!!!
Donald Trump is seriously afflicted with a type of mental disorder that normally leaves one impaired but still capable of everyday functioning. Despite this affliction, obvious to everyone, politicians in his own party, for whatever reason, failed to rein him in, and millions of honest, hard working, but gullible, Americans made a horrible mistake when they voted him into office. Many of these innocently believed that what he said was actually true. Now, unfortunately, for all of us, he is our President. That makes him extremely dangerous.
If he is not stopped, he will cause further widening of social divisions in our country and violence. He will damage our economy, a topic on which he is both incompetent and a serial liar. He has called virtually every BLS economic measure during his brief tenure "the "best ever." We are not likely to recognize the damage his impulsive, quixotic policy announcements are causing, and have caused, for a number of quarters. Meanwhile, he will be contained somewhat by those who recognize the absurdity and dangers of his ill informed initiatives, dreamed up on his own without much if any recourse to experts. Many of those most disposed to controlling his impulses have already left his administration; more will no doubt follow after the coming election. If they don't leave on their own, he will drive them out according to the political version of Gresham's law; the application of which we witnessed in the rapid change of his Cabinet. He has eventually filled it largely with toadies.
Many from his campaign or initial administration have already been indicted, convicted or pleaded guilty to serious violations of U.S. law. These include his campaign chairman and his national security advisor. His personal attorney has been convicted of violating campaign finance law and Trump himself has been identified in the indictment as an un-indicted co-conspirator. His EPA secretary was forced from office for improper use of public money, and his interior Secretary has resigned and is facing multiple investigations of alleged wrong doing. His Commerce secretary has been fined and required to pay restitution for stealing 120 Million in a complex scheme involving the investment management firm he previously ran, and he has been found in violation of Federal conflict of interest law regarding stock holdings.
This administration is already, after only two years, the most corrupt by far since Nixon's. Trump himself is currently being sued for operating a fraudulent charitable foundation. And two concurrent lawsuits in which he is a named defendant charge he is in violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause; one of these has been brought by over 200 members of the U.S. Congress.
We must not take lightly the threat posed by a demagogue in high office like Donald Trump ; a man who is not in touch with his own human fallibility. We must not ignore history!
